The Cafeteria Committee shall meet upon the request of either party. The Cafeteria Committee will consist of three (3) designated Union representatives and three (3) designated Company representatives. If a designated representative for the Union is not otherwise a full-time Union Representative, the lost time will be borne by the Union.

The Committee will meet to discuss cafeteria issues, including prices, menus, cleaning and service to the extent pro­vided by law.

Employee utilization of the cafeteria services will be reviewed by the Human Resources Manager following the conclusion of 2003 Local Negotiations. It is anticipated that full cafeteria services shall be provided on shifts where the general population is at least 600 employees. With the changes that are contemplated regarding upgrading and modernization of the cafeteria facilities the cafeteria vendor has stated willingness to provide services on shifts with lower general population to determine if those operations may be under­taken in an economic and profitable manner based upon the support of the employees assigned to the shift.

In the event that employee utilization and/or shift personnel levels make this arrangement uneconomic, the Company will meet with the Cafeteria Committee to discuss alternate methods of providing food service or discontinuance of operations on particular shifts.

BREAKFAST

Following the conclusion of 1993 Local Negotiations, the cafeteria vendor has agreed to pilot an experimental breakfast service prior to the start of the #2 shift. This service will continue if it has sufficient economic support from the employees assigned to the day shift and provided that it does not result in a personnel control situation involving the midnight or the day shift. The Cafeteria Committee will be advised of the reasons for discontinuance of the experiment and will be provided an opportunity to rectify shortcomings in the program by encouragement of the fullest possible utilization of the experimental facility by the day shift employees. Improper utilization of the experimental facility by employees assigned to either the midnight or the day shift will result in termination of the experiment regardless of economic support.

*HOT FOOD SERVICE

Weekend production schedules will be reviewed by the Human Resources Department to ascertain the need for hot food lines in the mezzanine cafeteria. When 150 or more hourly employees per shift are scheduled, a hot snack line will be provided. Should this arrangement not prove satisfactory, it will be reviewed with the Cafeteria Committee.

SNACK LINE - MAIN

The present snack line will be continued in the main cafeteria. Hot dogs and hamburgers will be added to the service available on the snack line.

*WEEKEND SCHEDULE

Following the conclusion of 1993 Local Negotiations the Cafeteria services for weekend production schedules will be reviewed by Human Resources to ascertain the need for hot food lines in the mezzanine cafeteria. It is contemplated that hot food service for weekend and other overtime periods will be provided on shifts where there are at least 250 employees scheduled for the overtime period in question. With the changes that are contemplated regarding upgrading and modernization of the cafeteria facilities the cafeteria vendor has stated that willingness to provide services on shifts with lower employee schedules, following the upgrading and modernization, to determine if those operations may be undertaken in an economic and profitable manner based upon the support of the employees for the overtime periods on specific shifts.

In the event that employee utilization and/or shift personnel levels make these arrangements uneconomical, the Company will meet with the Cafeteria Committee to discuss alternate methods of providing food service for overtime periods.

*BLOCKHOUSE

Employee utilization of the cafeteria services provided in the Blockhouse have been exceptionally low for quite some time, due in part to the reduction in personnel experienced over the years. As a result of these changes, cafeteria service in the Blockhouse was discontinued on the afternoon shift. Since then, main cafeteria facilities and services, and hours of operation, have been more than adequate to service the needs of all employees.

During prior Local negotiations, however, the Union has continued to assert that added service is now needed in the Blockhouse due to the growth of the afternoon shift.  In response to your assertions, we have discussed your requests with Canteen Corporation, the provider of our cafeteria and vending service. They have stated that they are willing to provide cafeteria service in the Blockhouse on the afternoon shift to see if it can be operated profitably in view of the number of people recently added to that shift. They expressed a concern, however, that opening the Blockhouse on the afternoon shift would cause a decrease in employee patronage in the main cafeteria, with the result being that overall, providing cafeteria services on the afternoon shift would become uneconomic for them. Even with these concerns, Canteen is willing to provide the service if we can assure them that both the Company and the Union will encourage the fullest possible use of these services by our employees and your members.

Therefore, following the conclusion of Local negotiations, cafeteria service will be provided in the Blockhouse on the basis that employee participation is expected to be significant enough to economically support continuance of service in this facility on the afternoon shift, and provided that the employment level on that shift does not fall below 650.

During 2003 Local negotiations, the Union has continued to assert that service is needed in the Blockhouse.  Cafeteria service will be provided in the Blockhouse on the basis that employee participation is expected to be significant enough to economically support continuance of service in this facility.

MIDNIGHT SHIFT (#1 SHIFT)

The Union has also asserted that food service is needed on the midnight shift. The employment level on that shift (now about 300) makes it likely that providing cafeteria service would be very uneconomic. However, in view of the fact that the main cafeteria is not utilized on this shift, Canteen is willing to attempt this service, if we will encourage employees to use it to the fullest extent possible. If it is clear that it is not economic to provide this service, or if employ­ment levels on the shift fall below 200, this service would be discontinued.

In the event that employee utilization and/or shift personnel levels make either of these arrangements uneconomic, the Company will meet with the Cafeteria Committee to dis­cuss alternate methods of providing food service where appropriate.
